PURPLE SQUIRREL OF PENNSYLVANIA

A purple squirrel was spotted by Percy Emert and his wife Connie of Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania. They lured it into a trap using some peanuts. Everyone just like them wondered why the squirrel is purple? Purple squirrel made world wide news and there is even a Facebook page dedicated to the squirrel with 9,160 likes! Last Tuesday, the squirrel was let free. It certainly didn't like to be in cage and neither did the Emerts want that.

There are some interesting theories however as to how or why Purple Squirrel's fur is purple

* Product introduced into the it's nesting material that imparted the color to the fur

* Accidental immersion or contact with dye/colour compound

* Colour on the fur is not even, so it could be the natural color

* The squirrel possibly has too much bromide in it's system that gave rise to this color

* It could be a genetic foul-up.

Nothing has been proved or established why or how the squirrel turned out to be purple. It remains a mystery.

MY PICTURES FOR THE DAY - WATER FOUNTAIN

It's peaceful yet exhilarating to watch the play of water in any fountain. Here are a few pictures I took yesterday of the water fountain inside 360 Mall. If you visit 360 Mall in the evenings, it's beautiful to watch the water fountains outside the Mall as well, close to the main entrance.

I found this rather funny, than immature! What about you?

ROBOT RESTAURANT IN THAILAND

How would you like to be served by an entertaining Robot when you are at a restaurant? Sounds intriguing? Read on...

Hajima Restaurant in Bangkok located in Monopoly Park mall, serves Japanese cuisine. The decor is warm Japanese style with modern appeal. But you know what the most interesting thing is? Customers at Hajime are served by two Samurai Robots. Yes real robots! Customers choose and place their order via touch screen monitor on their table. Two armed robots will deliver the food to the customer's table, along a rail track built inside the restaurant. Once the customer is done, the Robots collects the empty dishes from the tables. Every 30 to 45 minutes the Robots break into a dance, entertaining the customers! They can also express emotions. These Robots were manufactured in Japan and programmed in Thailand.

BREAKFAST FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Wondering what to have for breakfast while trying to lose weight? Here is a simple and easy to make breakfast idea, - Orange, Olives and Egg Breakfast. It's a power packed breakfast filled with all the goodness of protein and vitamins, guaranteed to wake up any sleepy head, will help boost your moods and energy. Even if you are not a diet, it's a healthy breakfast. The egg was fried using just 3/4 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. You can fry the egg in a non stick pan without oil. But I do recommend using olive oil as it's very good for our health. The oranges are Valencia and the olives are black Spanish olives.
